The smallest fighter you think could beat Abraham for the WBO title?

[DARKSEID]

Probably Floyd. The skill and talent disparity is just too great.

Like Haye vs Valuev.

Pacquiao would also destroy him in the body with straight lefts and turn the **** out of him. The speed disparity is too great.

[Accountoffline]

He probably blasts out every smaller guy mentioned bar GGG, but a prime AA would make GGG think twice too he was just that hard of a puncher, his KO record is highly underrated.

[SN!PER]

Golovkin and Lemieux have the power to keep Abraham off of them.

I don't think Floyd or Pacquiao could win... they'd get overwhelmed.

Marquez, Maidana, Thurman, etc. all welters would get ragdolled in there.

[VG_Addict]

Prime Floyd would UD Abraham.

[ironmike2012]

GGG wins maybe KO, Cotto wins dec., probably Canelo Dec/ KO. I would give Kirkland a good chance if Ann Wolfe is in his corner (would be a good scrap like Kirkland/ Angulo)

[NearHypnos]

i think Canelo Angulo's him. Canelo is not exactly that small. He'd be smaller and while bis feet are slowish, he's got great reaction and fairly good defensive instincts. Not long ago I would have also said someone like Trout who is also a good size and maybe Lara.


Guys like Lara and Floyd are just TOO sharp. Abraham is very slow and I think Lara hits hard enough that hard counters will eventually start wearing him out. Pac is too small and Floyd might be too. There's always the chance dude just clinches at first chance and goes to town til broken up lol. Abraham isnt a big 168 though. At all.

I think there are more than a few 160 pounders who beat Abraham he isnt that big.

Quillin (seriously, eff him but I do think hes skilled) has the right style in addition to the power and speed. GGG would handle him. Sergio at one point would have been the ideal candidate with his athletic ability at 160 and fought some guy bigger than AA. Next to Pac he was probably the best at fighting big, slow, hard punchers.


Kirkland gets murdered imo. Andrade isnt quite ready. Cotto is infinately better but at 168? He gets killed. Maybe Danny Jacobs has the speed and power to keep him off him via offense..til he gets hig flush.

I think right now GGG really hurts AA. I think AA would land too few to hurt him (unless Ggg's chin doesnt hold up.

[TommyToughNuts]

Abe is short, kind of slow, throws in low volume, and is crude but man if he lands flush he does alot of damage.

So what fighters from a lower division do you think could beat AA while letting him come in at the 168lb limit?

Forget the notion of smaller guys knocking him out, its not going to happen and forget fighters in lower weight classes known for a sturdy beard holding up to those looping hooks and uppercuts. If he lands on a 154lber, they take a nap, no question about it.

So who do you think could UD him?

He is not short. He's 5'8 or 5'9 which is average height.

[El-blanco]

Abraham is not very good, extremely predictable.

[JasonBoxing]

He is not short. He's 5'8 or 5'9 which is average height.

For a Super Middle Weight? He's a ****ing midget.


Welterweights should be around 5'8-5'9
MW should be around 5'9-5'11
SMW? 5'11-6'2

Abe have the height of a lot of welterweights and Middleweights.

[KillerJones]

Abraham is not very good, extremely predictable.

Yea, he has amazing power no doubt, but he kinda ******, and is style would fit some fighters like a glove.

A good version of Floyd would win this fight easy as Abraham has an absolutely horrendous work rate, and zero urgency.

He hits hard, but against GGG, GGG would be the one landing all the shots early in the fight, as again Abrahams strategy of putting his gloves up and eating punches to tire an opponent out before he starts would be disastrous against GGG, just like it was against Froch.

You can't give your body and face to be hit against someone like GGG. GGG would KO him. GGG is killer to the body and Abraham has an open invitation to punch him there.
